UWPD Encourages Bike Safety and Courtesy

March 24, 2014 — With warmer spring weather on the way, the
University of Wyoming Police Department is asking bicyclists, pedestrians and
motorists to follow standards of courtesy and safety.

Specifically, bicyclists are reminded to walk their
bikes in designated dismount zones at high-pedestrian areas throughout the
campus, including the crossings through Prexy’s Pasture. Fines for riding a
bicycle through a dismount zone start at $25.

The UWPD also encourages bicyclists to wear helmets
and to properly lock bikes in bike racks, not on other structures.

To deter theft, the UWPD asks bicyclists to register
their bikes with the department, if they haven’t already done so. The cost is
$5. Registration allows the UWPD to capture all pertinent information required
to increase chances of recovery if a bicycle is stolen.
